There is no way you could accurately describe Gizmo, because he is an enigma. He is a very special cat, and he will let you know that he is. He has been at the shelter for a very long time. The love of his life, Tina, is also at the shelter and has been waiting for just as long.

Sponsor A Pet

If you would love to adopt a pet butare unable to do so, a great option to consider is sponsoring a pet at the Mary Hall Ruddiman Canine Shelter, helping us to provide food, shelter and veterinary care for homeless animals until forever homes can be found. Sponsoring a pet costs $25, $50, $75 or $100 a month, which you can pay by check (MHRCS, 24 Just-A-Mere Road,Marion, KY) or by PayPal. You may also make a one time (one month) donation. You can choose a pet or we can choose one for you. Many of our animals spend a number of months in our care. Unfortunately, some pets don’t find forever homes for as long as two years or more. Others find homes almost immediately. We’re a no-kill shelter committed to sticking with an animal for as long as it takes. View our adoptable pets on our blog and choose the pet you would like to sponsor. As a pet sponsor, you will receive periodic updates on your pet’s progress. When your foster pet has been placed in a new home, you will be notified of the goodnews. Please call the shelter at 270-965-2006 if you would like to sponsor a pet. You can also email us at maryhallshelter@yahoo.com for more information on becoming a sponsor.

Are you interested in helping? We now accept donations through Paypal. Thank you.

About the shelter

In 2007, Mary Hall Ruddiman passed away leaving the bulk of her estate to Crittenden County to establish a "no-kill" animal shelter. Her will was very specific in what she wanted for the animals and it has been a long road to get us to the point where we are now. We opened the doors on December 6, 2010!!! In order for us to continue to make Mary Hall's dream a reality we will need the support of the community. Donations and volunteers are always needed and so appreciated. We will work directly with the Crittenden County Animal Shelter giving animals a second chance. Due to our space limitations and "no kill" status we must limit the animals we take in and will not be able to take animals directly. Our animals come strictly from the county shelter and are completely vetted including spay/neuter and shots.

Paws For A Cause

We are very excited to have been chosen to participate in the Kentucky State Penitentiary dog training program. Five dogs at a time are taken to the Penitentiary for an eight to ten week training program at which time they will be brought back to us ready for adoption. The dogs will be taught a multitude of commands and will be worked with one on one by the inmate (aka handler). The dog is with the handler 24 hours a day. The handlers are carefully selected and must maintain perfect conduct to remain in the program. This is a honor for both us and the handler. The adoption fee for the dogs once they have completed their training and are back with us is $175 which includes all shots, spay/neuter, worming, heartworm prevention, county dog license and extensive training. Please consider adding one of these special dogs to your family. If interested please give us a call.
